What if you knew?




What if you knew your best friend stole something from you? Would you talk to them, forgive them and let it go? God would and he's forgiven you for things you've done. What if you knew your employer was trying to get rid of you, not because you did anything wrong but because you stood up for what was right and they felt it made them look bad? Would you talk to them, forgive them and let it go? Jesus was treated worse than we will ever be treated and he forgave his offenders. What if you knew God loved you enough to give up the most important thing to him? He does and he did! What if you knew Jesus would return in one week? Would that change how you live? I'm sure it would, in fact you would tell everyone you came in contact with. Why do you feel you have so much time? You may not, Christ could come tonight. You could die tomorrow. You need to act like today could be your last. There are no guarantees. What if you knew? You don't...

Makes you stop and think about if you're really doing everything you should be. Reality check. Stepped on my toes! It's sometimes hard to be forgiving to others when they do you wrong.

Good post.

That picture at the top makes me think about Ava and Ella when they are older!

Laura, I understand how you feel about forgiving someone who has done wrong or who has hurt you. We can only do this with God's help.

I can see Ava and Ella in that photo as well.
